Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

I remember it all well lookin' back
It was the summer I eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown
On the outskirts of New
We didn't have money for or rent
To say the least we were pressed
Then spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin'

Mama washed and combed and my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips I stepped into
a
dancin' dress that had a split on the clean up
to my hip
It was red velvet and it fit me good
Standin' from the lookin' glass
There stood a woman where a half kid
had

She said here's your one chance don't let
me
Here's one chance Fancy don't let me down

dabbled a little bit of perfume on my neck
And she my cheek
I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eys
When she started to
She looked at a pitiful shackAnd then she at me and took a ragged

She said your Pa's run off and I'm real
And the baby's starve to death

She handed me a heart shaped locket that
"To own self be true"
And I shivered as I watched a crawl accross
The toe of my high shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was
Mama what do I do
She said be nice to the Fancy
And they'll be to you
She said here's one chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me downLord forgive me for I do,
but if you out
Well up to you
Now don't let me down you start
uptown

Well, that was the time I saw my Ma
The night I that rickety shack
The people came and took the baby
died and I ain't been back

But the wheels of fate had to turn
And for me was no way out
And it very long 'til I knew exactly
What my Mama'd been talkin'

I what I had to do but I made myself this
solemn vowThat I's be a lady someday
I didn't know when or how
I see spending the rest of my life
With my head hung down in you know
I have been born just plain white trash
But was my name

Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me
Here's your one chance Fancy let me down

It wasn't long that benevolent man
Took me off the
And one later I was pourin' his tea
In a five room suite

I a king, congressman
And an aristocrat
I got me a Georgia mansion
In an elegant New townhouse flat
And I done bad

Now in this there's a lot of self-righteous

That would me bad
And criticize Mama for me out
No matter how we had

But though I ain't had to worry nothin'
For nigh on fifteen
I can still the desperation in my poor
voice ringin' in my ear

She said, here's your one Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy let me down
Lord, me for what I do
But if you want out well up to you
Now let me down
You Mama's gonna you uptown

I she did
